Solutions to majority of problems related to Restore/ Recovery / MSI F3 factory Reset

first of all, read the main tutorial, its not hard and your solution is already there,
2nd, your partition is not in factory layout, 1st partition should be 300MB, 2nd should be 128MB(reserved), 3rd should be C drive, 4th should be 900MB recovery partition(win re tool), 5th or so on can be other primary partition, but last one should be recovery partition(BIOS_RVY with system image in it) from where you can factory reset your windows.
3rd, is your bios_rvy partition origional or you just created it??

solution is that either you start from scratch and re partition your whole drive, but you will lose your files, so make backup first.
but if your bios_rvy partition is original and it has your original msi recovery image file then you can use burnrecovery or creater center/dragon center to make backup usb recovery.
Nah i created the BIOS_RVY not the orginal one, and uh the problem is I don't understand english at all, and i never tried something like that at all, that's the reason why I can't do it. Also by the way is it okay to use team viver to do it, I can't able to do it at all and I'm really sorry for bothering you.
 
And also i think I don't have oem partition either there are no msi services in my country too, I'm not really sure if we can fix that even if it is fixable I'm not skilled with doing these things and I will not gonna able to do it since I don't know how to do it.

Understand this first, if you don't have original BIOS_RVY, then you can't go back to original state. You have to get those images from the other laptop of same model.
But if you want to create the backup recovery image, you can, but it won't be original, it wil be better than original.
So decide yourself what you want.
The process is quite simple, but since you said you are not very comfortable with the process, it will be better to forget msi recovery.
But if you want it anyway, try getting help from someone to help you with this tutorial.

Hello again bro, so uh I just made my msr partition 128 gb the efi partition size is 300 MB now and the recovery partition is 900 MB and it said The Recovery procedure from Recovery DVD has not been successfully finished. If you wish to recovery it again, please re-boot from Recovery DVD #1 later. Also i used the F3 option with usb you know the downloadable one. So uh do you have any idea how to fix this error.

F3 option from USB is only software to help with recovery but it is not the recovery file itself. Recovery image should be located inside Bios_rvy or in USB. The recovery image size is generally more than 15GB. I guess you don't have recovery image inside Bios_rvy.

So looks like i need to create an recovery partition with 15 GB and copy the swm files inside of it?
 
And another problem so uh I don't know if you know the install.wim is not in windows's iso file it is called install.esd and it is 3 GB and I'm trying to split it in 4 GB but since the file is not big enough it cannot be splitted to 4 GB only 2 GB or 1 GB Is this okay?
 
Hello again bro so I'm literally confused so i created bios_rvy and splitted install.wim into install.swm but it only gave me install.swm and install.swm2 and uh i copied them in bios_rvy and i tried to use usb f3 but still same error is there something that i did wrong?

In the tutorial, there is no mention of using install.wim from windows.iso. The install.wim file in the tutorial is the captured image of YOUR CURRENT system. you got the tutorial wrong man.

If you want your f3 recovery back then you have to manually adjust the partition size of your drive during the format. But this will clean your hard disk. If you want, i can give you the command to use during the format.
Not the best solution, but one thing you can do is to use the recovery file of my prestige 15 model to format your harddrive. later you can install or uninstall the drivers needed for your laptop.

Ohh I understand sorry for understanding the tutorial wrong, also are you sure that your recovery files is gonna work after I copy them into bios_rvy? and one more question before I go to do the tutorial, after i sucsees to factory reset my laptop with usb f3 will I gonna get my f3 back?

You don't have to copy those files to biosrvy, those files are recovery usb files. Use recovery usb to factory reset your harddrive. It will help you to re organize your harddisk partition to factory format making your f3 recovery work again. It will also give you f3 recovery option back. But the catch is that, it will create biosrvy partition on you laptop and fill that partition with the MSI prestige 15 recovery files which later you can change or replace with your own custom made recovery files.
But the best way would be to manually create partitions using command, replace winre file with the msi winre that also can be found on archive.org and capture your current system and put it manually on biosrvy partition. But since you are not familiar with this process, i suggested to try those files.

Theoretically yes, practically never tried it. Only way to find out is to try it. For safety, just make sure to have another usb with bootable windows if in case you need it. But i think it should work.
